Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer proclaimed himself completely recovered from the knee injury that cut last season short.

Palmer has been working out with wide receiver John Brown and has noticed no lingering effects from last season's ACL tear.

"I’m not even thinking about my knee,” Palmer said, per AZCardinals.com. “I’m still rehabbing just to be on the safe side of things but I don’t need to be at rehab. I’m full go in the weight room, full go on the field, and until it’s brought up, I haven’t thought about everything I'm not doing, because I'm doing everything I was doing."

Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer returned to practice for the first time since his season-ending knee injury last November.

Palmer returned from surgery to correct a torn ACL. He was able to take part in 11-on-11 drills for the Cardinals on Tuesday.

"This is just one of the many steps in a long road," he said, per the Associated Press. "This was the goal from the get-go, from Nov. 18 on, and it's just one goal achieved. There's a lot bigger goals and a number of goals still to go."

Coach Bruce Arians was happier with Palmer's performance than the quarterback was.

"Of the 100 balls he threw, he only had one bad one," he said. "I thought his movement in the pocket, there was no hesitation in him. I hope he's never happy, and I don't think he ever will be until he hoists that Lombardi Trophy."

Cardinals' head coach Bruce Arians said quarterback Carson Palmer understands the window to win now is getting slimmer, according to NFL.com.

"He knows the clock's ticking," Arians said Tuesday, via the team's official website. "It is for a lot of guys on this team. You get a window to make a run and most of it depends on your quarterback. Right now, it's our window. There is a sense of urgency."

The Cardinals were 8-1 last season before Palmer went down with a season-ending ACL tear.
